Just a little something I came up with.. Rumaging through Her attic She stumbled upon A tiny box Carefully she opened To find the occupant A little worn From the years But still shining Through her tears She found her Grandmother's Heart Shaped Locket Engraved with her initials And a picture residing inside Time warping her Back to homemade cookies And bananna nut bread perfume It's been twenty years Since then When she was just a small girl On her Grandmother's lap Picking berries Eating homemade pies And having her Grandmother Kissing her goodnight...

Kristen~ Sometimes memories are stirred by the mere touch-of-remember of a special object ... seems yours have been stirred quite beautifully~ My Great Grandmother comes to me in gentle reminders she left behind also~ Aren't we fortunate ? This is just lovely~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

This brings to mind a lot of my own memories...of days with a lady so dear to me....She sacrificed a lot of her own personal time to allow me things that I wanted... and her love continued till her death...ever faithful...just as I am sure your grandmother was for you... Thanx for letting us see this part of your heart...enjoyed the moment... |

You gave this "Heart shaped locket" a pulse, when you gave animate attributes. Nice, nice read. ~wranx In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward". |
